If you're here, you’re probably wondering whether it’s time to bring in a virtual assistant (VA). Maybe you’re drowning in admin, struggling to keep up with deadlines, or just exhausted from trying to do it all yourself.
Sound familiar?
The reality is, most business owners wait too long to get help. They push through burnout, convince themselves they’re the only ones who can handle certain tasks, or put off hiring because they’re unsure how to delegate effectively. But waiting too long can cost you - time, growth, and even clients.
Here are four key signs that it’s time to stop doing everything yourself and bring in a virtual assistant.
You’re buried in tasks that don’t grow your business.
Be honest, how much of your day is spent on things that actually drive revenue?
If you’re drowning in emails, managing payroll, updating spreadsheets, or chasing invoices, you're stuck in the weeds instead of focusing on what you do best.
These low-value tasks eat up time and energy that could be spent bringing in new clients, refining your services, or expanding your business. A VA takes these tasks off your plate so you can get back to the big picture.
Delegate these tasks first:
Inbox and calendar management
Booking appointments
Data entry and basic admin
Important deadlines are slipping through the cracks.
If you're constantly playing catch-up, missing invoice due dates, forgetting follow-ups, or scrambling to meet compliance deadlines, it’s a clear sign you need help.
A VA keeps your business running smoothly by managing deadlines, scheduling reminders, and handling the admin that keeps everything on track.
Delegate these tasks next:
Accounts payable and receivable
Chasing overdue invoices
GST returns and compliance tracking
Organising digital files and documents
You never have time to work on your business
You had big plans when you started your business. New services. A fresh marketing strategy. Maybe even an expansion.
But when was the last time you actually had time to work on those ideas?
If you’re stuck in the daily grind with no time to focus on growth, a VA can give you the breathing room you need. Track how much time you’re spending on admin in a week, then imagine what you could achieve if that time was freed up.
Delegate these tasks to scale up:
Client communication and follow-ups
Social media scheduling and content repurposing
CRM and database management
Booking travel and event coordination
You’re trying to do things you’re not good at.
Not great with numbers? Struggling with social media? Have no idea how to build a website?
Business owners waste hours trying to DIY things that an expert could do in a fraction of the time (and at a much higher standard).
A VA gives you access to skilled professionals who can take these tasks off your hands, so you can focus on what you are great at.
Delegate these tasks for maximum impact:
Bookkeeping and payroll
Recruitment support
Compliance tracking and documentation
Process improvement and automation setup
The real cost of waiting.
If any of these sound familiar, you’re already at the point where hiring a VA would make a massive difference. The longer you wait, the more time, energy, and money you’re losing to tasks that could be handled for you.
